President Bola Tinubu has approved the recruitment of 1,000 forest guards to strengthen efforts aimed at tackling insecurity in Katsina State.
Katsina State Governor, Dikko Radda, made the disclosure on Tuesday while briefing journalists after a meeting with Islamic clerics and other stakeholders at the Government House, Katsina.
The meeting paved the way for discussions on community-based approaches to addressing banditry and kidnapping.
Radda said the engagement with religious leaders was aimed at understanding the causes of the security crisis and obtaining advice on sustainable solutions beyond conventional military operations.
